Welcome to the Brooklyn Rewilders at Arts & Letters United school! Our Fall 2025 Class meets Thursday, September 18 to December 18 from 2:40-4:30pm
We will walk the children from the blacktop or their classroom (PreK and K) to the school garden.
Grades: Kindergarten & 1st Grade
Location: Arts & Letters United School Garden (near the early childhood playground on Madison)
Schedule: Every Thursday
Let’s dig in! Hungry Explorers is a joyful afterschool adventure that blends gardening, cooking, and nature play for our youngest learners. Designed for Kindergarten and 1st grade children, this hands-on program introduces foundational gardening and culinary concepts through the lens of curiosity and the five senses. From digging in the dirt and planting seeds to tasting garden-grown snacks and dressing up as pollinators, children explore the natural world through play, movement, storytelling, and food.
Each week, students engage in interactive garden-based activities like building bug hotels, harvesting herbs, and creating nature art—paired with simple, healthy cooking projects they can proudly share. Along the way, they develop early science skills, build social-emotional confidence, and gain a deeper understanding of where food comes from.
Program Highlights:
Sensory-rich garden scavenger hunts, color hunts, and taste tests
Cooking activities like dirt cups, veggie boats, and butterfly snack bags
Gentle harvesting, seed planting, and weather tracking
Storytime picnics, music, and a garden parade celebration
By the end of the semester, Garden Explorers will:
🌱 Show curiosity and care for plants and living things
👃 Use their five senses to describe and explore the garden
🤝 Practice cooperation, routine, and group storytelling
🍓 Learn basic food prep skills and build positive food experiences
Join us this fall as we grow, cook, play, and discover—together!
All children will receive journal notebooks for the semester and supplies to complete each lesson, as well as reusable glass jars and food to take home.
The semester will end with a shared feast for families, grown and cooked by our class!
Class mostly meets outside in our school garden, with a tented area in case of rain.
Snacks provided. Scholarships are available.
Please contact us with any questions! We can’t wait to learn together!
